Configure the RT-AC66U as a range extender/repeater.
I assume that you can mostly follow the instructions from ASUS for doing this on a RT-AC68U.
You can't really control which bands use each antenna in the router. Both bands will always use all three antennas. If you replace one of the stock dual-band antennas with that 2.4 GHz HawkingTech antenna, you might boost reception for one of the three spatial streams but it wouldn't help the other two. One spatial stream of 802.11n is limited to a theoretical max of 150 Mbps and is more likely to only connect at 72 Mbps due to neighbor friendly rules. If you can't connect to the harbor Wi-Fi unless you use the HawkingTech antenna then it makes sense to use that antenna since some connection is better than nothing.
If you repeat this signal on your boat at 2.4GHz then the single 2.4GHz radio will spend half the time sending and half receiving which cuts its bandwidth in half. It would be better to use the 5GHz radio for your clients on the boat.
A GL.iNet GL-AR150 Mini Travel Router might be easier to get working for your purposes than the ASUS router.
We just purchased a TP-Link extender for our dead-spot Roku:

Pretty nifty gadget, as you download the setup app from your app store and it's easy peasy to connect it up to the network, upgrade firmware, etc. I am currently using it in "High-Speed Mode" which connects to the router via the longer range 2.4 and then repeats ONLY the 5Ghz. Made an unusable Roku test out at ~35Mbps in the dead spot in our home. And it's freaking cheap, which I love as so am I.
I had the same issue before with that router, I bought this cable and didn't have to deconstruct. This cable worked perfect for me. Youll just need the prolific driver. It arrived in 2 days with prime.

It doesn't have to be done that way. "VLAN tagging" is just adding the VLAN ID to the packet (officially IEEE 802.1Q). Your computer can do it. But if you're trying to isolate a potentially malicious wired device, then you'd usually configure that on the (managed) switch it's directly connected to, which often also support tagging by MAC address.
Edit: There are inexpensive managed switches; one example.
